SPECIFICATION forming partof Letters Patent N o. 377,471, dated February 7, 1888.

Application filed January 1I, 1887.` Serial No. 41,064. (No model.) y

To all whom t may concern.-

' easy of access, and by which the entire closet may be quickly exposed.

In my invention a flue rising from the top plate of the stove, for the passage ofthe products of combustion, is partially covered at its top by a plate forming the bottom of the hot closet, the said plate being suitably boltedv to the metal plates constituting the said Hue.

The hot closet referred to has a semicircular back plate, in connection with which operates a cover composed, essentially, of a concavo-convex plate of sheet-iron mounted at its ends on sectors pivoted to the end plates of the hot closet,"the said end plates having, a shelf mounted on them above the hot closet.

Figure 1 in perspective shows a cookingstove embodying` my invention, land Fig. 2 a partial section of Fig. 1 in the dottedl line fr.

The body A ofthe stove and the top B are or may be of usual construction. g Rising from the top plate is a liuc box or pipe, C, preferably of cast metal. The upper end of the due-box is enlarged, as at G',.and has applied to it a plate, D, forming the bottom of the-hot closet B, a pipe-arm, G2, being extended from the flue-box' to the rear of the hot closet.

The closet B has a convex back plate, D', and end plates, D2 D2, the plates D D D`l D2, with 'the cover E, constituting the hot closet. A The coverE consists of a concavoconvex sheet-iron plate bolted or riveted to sectorlike arms a, having pivot a', the cover .when in the position representedA in Figs. 1 and 2 completely closing the hot closet; but if desired the cover by a slight lift on the knob a?.

Y maybe turned backward on its pivot, so as to the casing of a broiler.

fall just inside the concave-convex back piece,

D', leaving the hot closet entirely open. The

end pieces, D2, are extended a little above the curvedv back D', and have secured to thema shelf, G, under which the lair has free circulation, and hence the shelt` itself is not he'atedtoly any appreciable extent. I

rIhe due-box C has a draft-slide, H, for the admission of cold air when itis desired to control the draft and re. l l

I amaware that a pivoted door having the sav form of a segment of adhollow cylinder has been employed in closing the front of a'writingdesk; and I am also aware that a curvednn` pivoted plate operated by a curved rack and a pinion has been used to cover an openingin that I am the first to provide in connection with a cooking-stove ka. hot' closet which is rounded or curved at both front and rear;- the first to provide a hot closet the rear plate of which is adapted to receive the door whichv closes the opening of the warmingoven of the closet, and the rst to provide uponthe end` I believe, however,

plates kof a hot closet and above the rounded top thereof anvisolated warming-shelf.

1. The stoveebody, the draft-pipe, the bottom plate, D, the concavo-convex back plate, and the end pieces,combined with the concavoconvex cover-plate consisting of the plate E and end pieces, a, pivoted at a', all asshown and described.

2. The stove-body, 'the draft-pipe, the bottom plate, D, the concavo-convex back plate,

and the `end pieces, combined with the conf ,cavo-covex cover-plate consisting of the 'plate E and end pieces, a, pivoted at a', and with the shelf G, all as shownand described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specificationI in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
